On Thursday, Ashley & Patrick went off to work and Kevin and I headed out for our day together since it was our anniversary. First stop was breakfast and Glazed and Infused. YUMMM, Kevin got a vanilla bean and then a maple and bacon donut. I got a creme brulee and a raspberry buttermilk donut. It was delicious!!
Then we went by our hotel for the night to see if we could check in early. Not only was our room ready, they upgraded us for free to a Riverview Suite!! It was by far the best hotel I've stayed in (minus honeymoon in Jamaica)! We had the top floor corner room overlooking downtown and the river. We even had 4 window seats with cushions and pillows! It was awesome!!
We then headed out and did a double decker tour around town and stopped off at the Shedd Aquarium and the Magnificent Mile. After that we headed back up to the hotel and got ready for dinner. We ended up going to Mastro's Steakhouse. The food was great! Only complaint was that it ended up being pretty loud there as it was a ton of after work business professionals.
On Friday, Ashley and Patrick picked us up and we headed to Wrigley field for a tour! I was excited to do this tour as I have heard many renovations are going to be starting soon, so it was neat to see it before that. We got to go to the locker rooms and the press box and learned so much.
After that we had brunch at Southport Grocery & Cafe and I had some amazing Bread Pudding Pancakes! We then headed to Lincoln Park Zoo for an afternoon with the animals! Before heading back to A&P's place, we picked up some delicious macaroons for a snack.
That night we went to Bill & Giuliana Rancic's restaurant, RPM. LOVED IT!!! We then went to the Signature Bar at the top of Hancock to have drinks and catch the view.
On Saturday we hit up the breakfast spot Waffles, for what else, WAFFLES! (well at least Ash and I did!) I got Red Velvet and Ashley got Mexican Chocolate! YUMM YUMM! Then we got on a Sea Dog Boat Cruise and took in the site on the lake and headed down the river for an architectural tour.
We then headed south to the Science & Industry Museum, which of course Kevin loved!!! Saturday night we had famous Chicago stuff pizza for Giordano's. Delicious.
We ended our trip by watching the fireworks off Navy Pier while eating some famous Hoosier Mama pies!!! Can you tell we enjoyed our food???
Great trip away for our anniversary, but we were definitely excited to get back and see Carter!!
